I had the Mirena for less than a year. For the first 2 months I was on cloud 9. I felt great. Then the madness started. It threw my hormones COMPLETELY off. I started getting ovarian cysts. I was bleeding very very irregularly. I got it removed after having it for 6 months. When they went to remove it, they found I needed minor cervical surgery because it healed over (which IS NOT supposed to happen).

It's been over 2 years. I have had multiple chemical pregnancies. I have secondary infertility because my hormones are not producing properly. I feel pregnant for most of the month because my body will not produce progesterone properly. I have recurrent ovarian cysts and vaginal cysts. All because of the Mirena. I am currently working with a homeopathic doc (for the past 6 months or so) to get my hormones back on track with herbs and supplements. I am hoping it works because it has been devistating to continually lose pregnancies. We'd really like a #3. I've had to work through almost 2 years of depression from feeling inadaquate due to the infertility. But, my hormones are finally starting to level out and the symptoms are getting less and less.

If I were you, I would get it removed as soon as possible. I wish I would have done my homework and saw all of the class action suits against Mirena, Paraguard, etc.

Like I said though... EVERY WOMAN IS DIFFERENT. Some women have no problems and others have lots of lasting issues.
